Guidelines For The Placement of Electrical Contractor Numbers on Vehicles

Ontario Regulation 570/05 requires that an electrical contractor shall prominently display the Licence number in all correspondence, contracts and advertisements, yellow pages, website, on business vehicles and, generally, in all situations where they are communicating with the public within 90 days of the date of issuance of their licence.
Below are the guidelines for the display (placement) of the Electrical Contractor Licence number on vehicles.

  • Minimum size is one inch high
  • Must be in either black or white lettering so that the licence number easily visible
  • Can be on the back of the truck or on both sides
  • Must say ECRA/ESA Lic or ECRA/ESA before the number unless the ECRA/ESA logo is incorporated into the design
  • The name of the company should also be displayed on the vehicle
  • If the name of the company does not appear on the vehicle then the ECRA/ESA Logo may not be used

If using the ECRA/ESA logo it must meet the following criteria:

  • ECRA/ESA’s logo will appear in black & white or colour
  • ECRA/ESA’s logo and approved wording will not be altered in any way
  • ECRA/ESA’s logo and approved wording will not be interfered with by Contractor logo
